Our Glorious Christ!

Jesus Christ is so pure. He has no blemish, stain, spot of sin, defilement, lying, deception, corruption, error, or imperfection (1 Pet 1:18-20)

Jesus Christ is so complete that there is no other God besides Him (Isa 45:5); He is the only begotten Son (John 1:14, 18); all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Him (Col 2:3); the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Him (Col 2:9); He is the heir of all things(Heb 1:2); He created all things and all things were made by Him, through Him, and for Him (Col 1:16); He upholds all things by the word of His power (Col 1:17; Heb 1:3); He is the firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15); He is the exact representation of God (Heb 1:3).


He is the only Mediator between God and Man; He is the Sun that enlightens; the Physician that heals; the Wall of Fire that defends; the Friend that comforts; the Pearl that enriches; the Ark that supports; and the Rock to sustain under the heaviest of pressures; He is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty on high (Heb 1:3; 8:1); He is better than the angels (Heb 1:4-14); better than Moses; better than Aaron; better than Joshua; better than Melchizedek; better than all the prophets; greater than Satan (Luke 4:1-12); and stronger than death (1 Cor 15:55).


He has no beginning and no end (Rev 1:17, 18); He is the spotless Lamb of God; He is our Peace (Eph 2:14); He is our Hope (1 Tim 1:1); He is our Life (Col 3:4); He is the living and true Way (John 14:6); He is the strength of Israel (1 Sam 15:29); He is the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star (Rev 12:16); He is Faithful and True (Rev 19:11); He is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Heb 12:1-2); He is the Captain of our salvation (Heb 2:10); He is the Champion; He is the Elect One (Isa 42:1); He is the Apostle and High-Priest of our confession (Heb 3:1); He is the Righteous Servant (Isa 53:11).


He is the Lord of Hosts, the Redeemer-the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth (Isa 54:5); He is the Man of Sorrows (Isa 53:3); He is the Light; He is the Son of Man (Matt 20:28); He is the Vine; He is the Bread of Life; He is the Door; He is Lord (Phil 2:10-13); He is prophet, Priest and King (Heb 1:1-3); He is our Sabbath rest (Heb 4:9); He is our Righteousness (Jer 23:6); He is the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6); He is the Chief Shepherd (1 Pet 5:4); He is Lord God of hosts; He is Lord of the nations; He is the Loin of Judah; the Living Word; the Rock of Salvation; the Eternal Spirit; He is the Ancient of Days; Creator and Comforter; Messiah; and He is the great I AM (John 8:58)!
